Our "thirty-is-the-new-twenty" culture tells us that the
twentysomething years don't matter. Some say they are an
extended adolescence. Others call them an emerging
adulthood. But thirty is not the new twenty. In this
enlightening book, Dr. Meg Jay reveals how many
twentysomethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and
misinformation that has trivialized what are actually the
most defining years of adulthood. Drawing from more than ten
years of work with hundreds of twentysomething clients and
students, Dr. Jay weaves the science of the twentysomething
years with compelling, behind-closed-doors stories from
twentysomethings themselves. She shares what psychologists,
sociologists, neurologists, reproductive specialists, human
resources executives, and economists know about the unique
power of our twenties and how they change our lives. The
result is a provocative and sometimes poignant read that
shows us why our twenties do matter. Our twenties are a time
when the things we do--and the things we don't do--will have
an enormous effect across years and even generations to come.
